The Luzerne-Wyoming County region, in many respects, is much like the rest of the nation. Therefore, what one observes regarding prevalent social or other problems throughout the county can also be ob- served in our community. It is generally accepted that the aged seem to be susceptible to dependency problems with respect to alcohol and other sub- stance abuse. Loneliness, low income, . physical problems, and decreased social status all are contributing factors which can predispose elderly individuals to alcohol and other drug abuse. Alcoholism, in par- ticular, is extremely prevalent among those aged individuals living in isolation. Elderly problem drinkers are not a’ particularly visible segment among alcohol abusers in this com- munity since retirement has moved them out of the social mainstream. Their drinking behavior, then, often goes unnoticed. The older problem drinker has special needs which, until recently, generally have not been met in the present alcohol treatment delivery system. In an attempt to reach out to the older problem drinkers of the Luzerne-Wyoming County area, help is now possible through a collaborative effort between the Luzerne-Wyoming County Area Agency on Aging and the Drug and Alcohol Program. 7 Funded by the Aging Program, trained Drug and Alcohol specialists will- provide on-site diagnostic evaluation and on-site counseling-refe- rral services to in- dividuals aged 60 and over, at their place of residence. This service is available to private homes, hospitals and Counselors from both the Alcoholism and Drug Services of Lower Luzerne County, Inc. and Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services, Inc., are available to provide this unique service. For more information, interested individuals may contact either as appropriate. In the Northern Luzerne and Wyoming Counties, call 287-9651. For information-edu- cation programs for senior citizens, the number to call is 822-7121.
